 Build Options

-  OpenStructure.

-* `PREFIX` specifies the location on the file system where to install 
-  OpenStructure.
+* `OPTIMIZE` can be switched on to build an optimized (-O3 -DNDEBUG) version of
+  OpenStructure. By default, this is switched off.
 
 * `USE_DOUBLE_PRECISION` will switch on double precision within OpenStructure. 
   By default, this is switched off.
 
 * `ENABLE_STATIC` allows some parts of OpenStructure to be statically linked 
   and thus can be used more easily across a heterogeneous setup, e.g. older 
-  systems and newer systems.
